A Path To Follow

Back Wed 20th
💙💙💙

Although marketed at kinship carers this intro into trauma and behaviour is suitable for parents and any workforce members wanting to know the basics.

With Jaime of Child Trauma Consultancy you will learn how trauma impacts behaviour and simple tips to inform your responses.

Oh and it's super cheap for a limited time.

For every foster and kinship carer who has quietly wondered: "Am I doing this right?"
You are.

And the fact that you're asking that question is actually evidence that you care deeply about getting it right.

Caring for a child who has experienced trauma is genuinely one of the hardest things a person can do. It's exhausting, it's often lonely, and the usual parenting advice often doesn't work — not because you're doing it wrong, but because these children need something different.

On Friday 22 May, I'm running a 60-minute online session to help foster and kinship carers understand what's really happening beneath the behaviour they're seeing — and what actually helps.

✅ What trauma does to a child's brain — in plain language
✅ Why the usual approaches often miss the mark
✅ Co-regulation — how your calm becomes their anchor
✅ What to say (and what to avoid) in the hardest moments
✅ Self-care that actually fits into a carer's real life

📅 Friday 22 May | 7:30–8:30 PM AEST | Online | AU$33

Whether you're brand new to caring or you've been doing this for years — this session is for you.

Please share with any carer who might need this 💙

Big thank you to Kristie for your kind words. This is why we do what we do and we couldn't do it without all the support you give The Sixth Child.

We’re so grateful for your support and for recognising the impact these donations make. Being able to help provide footwear and bikes to young people who need them most is what it’s all about — and reviews like yours mean more than you know.

We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience 🙌

📅 Weekly Presentation – 30 April

Join us at BNI First Class Moorabbin for our next member presentation.

Next week’s feature presentation will be delivered by Yolanda Alvares from Empowered Parents.

While Yolanda’s work is highly valued by parents, her insights go far beyond parenting. This presentation is recommended for anyone in a relationship with another human being — which, as it turns out, is most of us.

Yolanda invites us to look inward while trying to understand what blocks growth and communication with others. A firm believer in change from within, she brings a thoughtful and deeply observant perspective on the human psyche and how we relate to one another.

Expect a presentation that is highly interesting, reflective, and immensely valuable for anyone looking to improve communication and connection in their personal and professional lives.

Visitors are always welcome.
